Hey Slendees! This Memorial Day I am grateful for those who have died in service of our country. I am especially grateful for those families who have supported and sacrificed while their loved ones humbly served. We enjoy many freedoms here in the states and it wouldn't be possible without the dedicated men and women who have served our country diligently. So mahalo! Thank you!
In remembrance of the men and women who have died in the service of our country, here are
5 Ways to Honor Memorial Day
1. Get Dressed Up!
I love a good reason to dress up and holidays are always a great reason! This Memorial Day be inspired by military fashion and suit up in pieces like a military jacket, neutral booties, tailored khaki, anything and everything camo, or even a pair of aviator sunglasses. You could also go red, white and blue with your outfit in a ton of different ways. Whatever you choose, get creative!
2. Attend A Local Event
Whether you've planned a mini vacay out of town or you're shacking up in town, check your local listings for Memorial Day events near you! Parades are always fun, restaurants sometimes have cookouts and specials, and there are always great sales on Memorial Day. Don't forget to support your local businesses!
3. Visit A Graveyard

3. Visit A Graveyard
My family has a long tradition of visiting and decorating our families grave sites on Memorial Day. If graveyards freak you out, you could always go through old family albums or videos. The important thing is to remember and connect with those who have past on.
4. Round Up The Troops
Schools out and most don't have to work on Memorial Day so it's a great time to gather family and friends for a backyard barbecue or a day at the beach. Enjoy some good food and great company and be grateful that you have friends and family that love and support you :)
